This five-hour adaptation of Pride and Prejudice was
a massive success, getting the nation's ladies very excited by Colin
Firth's Mr Darcy, no more so than when he appeared in a hot-summer scene in a wet shirt. To be fair, Jennifer Ehle, who makes an equally
sexy Elizabeth Bennett, had already raised male temperatures wearing considerably less in The
Camomile Lawn. The result is certainly a colourful, vibrant
romantic drama, adored by millions.
